Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
